Groups in Legends of Learning are used for assigning students to specific classes, or for assigning students to groups within classes.
The reason to set up groups is so that you can assign assignments to particular groups of students. When doing this, the assignment can be joined only by students in the specific group(s).
NOTE: If assigning activities to student groups, only students signing in with usernames tagged to the assigned group will have access to the assignment. Check out this article if students are struggling to access your assignment that is tagged to groups.
Creating groups is done from your My Groups page; click Students. Then, click the My Groups tab.
To set up a group, click + Add Group.
Enter the name of your class or group and select a color.
Optionally, you can also select one or more students you would like to add to the group in the Select Students list. You can also search for students on this list.
When finished, select Create group named 'x' with 'x' students.
If you are a Co-teacher, you will also see the groups from the primary teacher's account listed on this page. These groups with be listed with your co-teacher's name in the Teacher column.
If your integration imported student groups for you, those will be designated in the Source column alongside your Teacher Created groups.
For any group you create, there are a few actions you can take on your My Groups tab under the Actions column.
